We take a precise digital scan to ensure your retainer fits perfectly.
Your retainer is made specifically for your teeth.
First year: full-time (20–22 hours/day), then transition to nights only. Long-term: every night to maintain results.
We monitor fit and replace retainers when they wear out.
Whether it was braces or Invisalign, retainers are non-negotiable if you want your results to last.
If your teeth are starting to move, a new retainer can stop it before it gets worse.
Don't wait — the longer you go without one, the more your teeth can shift.

Dr. Molayem is the kindest, most patient professional and a perfectionist! Amazing orthodontist! The team is kind, the office is super clean, and my results are better than I expected.”

“There are so many orthodontists in L.A. so I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Molayem. I’m afraid they don’t make them like him anymore.”

For life. But after the first year, most patients only wear them at night.
This means your teeth have shifted. Come in — we may need a new retainer or may need to discuss retreatment options.
Clear retainers: every 1–2 years. Wire retainers: 5+ years. Permanent: can last decades.
Rinse with cool water after each use. Brush gently with soft soap (not toothpaste — it's abrasive). Soak in retainer cleaner once a week.
Sometimes. We'll check your benefits and let you know.
No. Retainers need to be made from a current scan to fit properly. Come into our office and we'll handle it.
